Chapter 277

Tessa wanted to hold on so that she wouldn’t fall asleep, and she wanted to wait for Gregory to be safe before resting. However, she was still defeated by exhaustion in the end. Her heavy eyelids finally closed, and she slowly tilted toward Nicholas.

Nicholas kept staring at the operating room, and because his heart had suddenly started racing, he was a little disturbed and deliberately ignored Tessa.

Suddenly, there was a weight on his shoulder as a head rested on him.

He was stunned for a moment and wanted to push the head away, but he turned to look and saw that it was Tessa. He stopped his movements and whispered, “Tessa?”

She seemed to be aware of him, and gave a soft grunt in acknowledgment. Then, she slightly moved on his shoulder, found a more comfortable angle before falling asleep again.

Nicholas’s mood inexplicably improved for the better. He chuckled lightly and no longer disturbed her rest, but merely looked at her with very gentle eyes.

Tessa’s unique fragrance lingered on the tip of his nose. He felt that this fragrance was better than those expensive perfumes because it was refreshing.

He didn’t hate the smell, and even felt that it was too familiar to the point where he was falling into it.

After Edward dealt with Nicholas’ instructions, he returned to the waiting room and saw Tessa sleeping on Nicholas’ shoulder. His footsteps could not help but come to a stop.

He rubbed his eyes forcefully as he suspected that he was seeing wrong.

His president was not only mysophobic, but also hated close contact with women. Just a single touch, and he would have to throw away those expensive clothes.

The man had shoulders that made women go wild but they could only dare to watch from a distance, but now Tessa could lean on him to sleep like this?

The president, who had always been at the top and inexplicably more outstanding than others, seemed more humane and gave people a sense of warmth now.

This scene really subverted Edward’s perception of his own president.

However, this puzzled Edward a little. Nicholas had already doubted Tessa’s identity, so why did he treat her so well?

After all, Edward also knew how much Nicholas hated that woman who gave birth to a child for some money, and abandoned her child for some unknown reason.

When he saw this scene, he deeply felt that his Nicholas had completely changed. If it weren’t for his usual tactics in the business world, he would have suspected that the Nicholas in front of him was a fake.

Forget it. He shouldn’t even be third-wheeling here.

After making up his mind, Edward started to retreat, but he had just taken a few steps back when he bumped into an approaching Kieran.

“Edward? Isn’t my brother there? Where are you going? What’s wrong with Greg? Is the operation over?” Kieran asked in confusion.

When he asked so many questions in one breath, Edward was a little dumbfounded. “Master Kieran, the young master isn’t out yet, and the president is also waiting over there.”

“However, Master Kieran, I’m going to look for a place to stay for a while and I advise you, don’t go to him now. Come to the other end with me and stay in the corner.”

Edward hooked his lips and smiled before he pulled Kieran in the other direction.

Kieran frowned in displeasure and asked, “Why are you hiding? Why can’t we go over there, and what about my brother? I have to watch our baby boy, and I’m worried to death. As soon as I got home, I saw the news and rushed here. What are you doing pulling me away?”

“Shh, Master Kieran, keep quiet. If you want to know, I’ll show you why you can’t go there.” Edward pretended to be mysterious.

“What—this is crazy. If my brother knows about this, I’m sure he’ll ask you to get your brain checked out.”

Although Kieran said those words to Edward, his feet followed Edward willingly. The two of them hid in the corner, stretched out their heads, and looked in that direction.

They saw that Tessa leaned on Nicholas’ shoulder and was asleep.

And the legendary masculine President Sawyer did not only push her away, but he even placed his hand on her shoulder for fear of her falling.
